Got one of these in an out of the way pub near me. Think every time i've had the top its gone for: £25, £25, £28, £30, £31 and £33 :roll:

It's usually red boosting from the off & backing within £10 so don't think it gets hit much. Not enough cash recycled through maybe? or is that typical for this clone? Afterboards usually offer bottom streak at best.

why would you try another board, this machine and all its clones don't streak, and I say that with 100% confidence, anyone who thinks it does, has only been very lucky the next board to get another top/jp

I disagree Ob, they should quite often have at least a couple of JPs in them, finding ones that haven't been rinsed is the difficult bit though. How do you kill a Vamp to pick it if they don't streak? 1 JP or VIU streak is hardly ever enough.

I disgaree too. I've had a £100+ streak from a Flash before, all from JPRs. Just kept trying afterboards, and barring one dead one, got 4 pots from 5 boards. Was quite amazing really.....most i'd had previously was 2 FC streaks consecutively. 8)

I would agree with ob on this one. Once you have got the JP/streak on of these type of machines there is no need to go for another board, unless you got a free one or it was adding again.

Mattb imo you have just been lucky, the machine plays slightly randomly so that you could have just been very flukey and got this £100 "streak" - its not that it was streaking, you have just blagged the jps by fluke.

As I have told people OVER AND OVER AGAIN, the only TRUE sign on this series is the red boost - if its boosting after a jp I'd be very suprised unless it were adding again beforehand and in which case its not that its streaking anyway!!!

To kill the picking ones you have to fluke a jp, which given the many blags is not as hard as you may think!!! I've had one spin like 20 times round the board, give a few skills etc.etc. and be £50 off boosting!!

I suppose the proof will be found out when the emulator of vamp etc. is brought out, which I imagine is very soon... I'd like to wager I'm right on this one tbh, but perhaps not....

PS. the machine is so damn old ( bar flash cash which is a rare machine anyhow one could say " who cares " LOL! )

Barcrests have been known to do £100 streaks. Had one on a wobbler and vamps + clones... esp when you buzz them up. Flash cash seems to be tighter than other clones and therefore its hard to see £100 + streak on these.

Might of been very lucky though.

when you buzz vamps up they dont "streak" they just have loads of value, so you get more than 1 jp!!!

wobblers do streak, now that I agree with !!!

Sorry Ob but have to agree with the others that these can go again, and i doubt it was a fluke.

A fluke is surely something that happens once - Sorry but i have had these go on me a few times.

Fluke or not, i dont care, i will always try the next board

given there is a 1/10 chance of fluking a jp, and you play 100, you might expect to blag a jp on 1/10 occasions ie. 10 times... this is why you've had it a few times!!!

Given it costs on average after jp of £6 to get the board, a 1/10 of £25 represents a poor valued gamble ( expected value £2.50 for a cost of £6 ) - but if you wanna take it, thats up to you, and obviously on some occasions it will actually be worthwhile - in the long run... probably not.

hot stuff is on the emulator now, and considering it is pretty much the same machine, I suppose you could see either way by playing around with it... although I dont have the time for that!! tbh would be rather hard to prove either way on the emulator, although I have 1 suggestion - get a jp and if you manage to fluke a jp on the next board, don't take it, instead play on, and let it kill you, then see if you can get jp the next board - if not then surely the machine wasnt streaking - I fail to see another example of a barcrest machine which on a streak and refusing a jp would the jackpot fail to return.

I can see where your coming from.

I have actually had JP and then next board JP again - me being cocky went for SRM streak and died. Next spin two Jp spin on the win line - this held twice and low and behold third spin the JP came in.

Maybe just a fluke . . . ? who knows, either way i was up so what does it matter
